It is possible for India to meet the challenge of the growing divide among our people. This requires a qualitative shift from the present trajectory of economic reforms, Sitaram Yechury writes.

Thanks to regular disruptions, the government evades parliamentary scrutiny. To avoid this, Parliament must meet mandatorily for at least 100 days in a calendar year. Sitaram Yechury writes.

The prime minister has advised people to not be misled by those who spread false information on India’s economy. But this applies to him more than anyone else. Sitaram Yechury writes

Despite economic stagnation, the US's military spending in West Asia has not dipped. This is because it wants to control the resource-rich region. Sitaram Yechury writes.

The UPA must cancel all the coal block allocations it has made so far and then go in for transparent bidding. Sitaram Yechury writes.

Nuclear energy is a very costly option for India. But the UPA is pushing for it even when cheaper alternatives are available. Sitaram Yechury writes.

Superstars like Rajesh Khanna were products of their times, who brought together a wide range of creativity to depict contemporary social churning.Sitaram Yechury writes.

The Indian economy does not need reforms that prise it open for international finance capital but public investments that create jobs and spur growth. Sitaram Yechury writes.

To revive the economy, the UPA must withdraw the massive tax concessions it has given to India Inc and enlarge the levels of domestic demand. Sitaram Yechury writes.

The UPA’s call for austerity is a gigantic fraud. The government should recover the money that is lost to tax concessions and use it for building infrastructure. Sitaram Yechury writes.

As Parliament turns 60, it's clear that the UPA's planning process is not benefiting the aam aadmi. Instead, we have a skewed model of growth. Sitaram Yechury writes.

Many pending bills in Parliament seek to legalise the privatisation of higher education. This means opening newer avenues for profits at the cost of social good, writes Sitaram Yechury.

The new poverty estimates are both a mockery and a fraud. They prove that the facilitators of India's reform process are making profits at the expense of the aam aadmi. Sitaram Yechury writes.

Instead of promoting multipolarity in world affairs, India is seeking a subordinate role under US-led unipolarity. This is evident in New Delhi’s dealings with West Asia. Sitaram Yechury writes.
